Psalms 54

1 To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us? O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

Kwa mwimbishaji. Na ala za nyuzi za uimbaji. Utenzi wa Daudi. Wakati Wazifu walimwendea Sauli na kumjulisha, “Je, Daudi hajifichi miongoni mwetu?” Ee Mungu uniokoe kwa jina lako, unifanyie hukumu kwa uwezo wako.

2 O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

Ee Mungu, sikia maombi yangu, usikilize maneno ya kinywa changu.

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

Wageni wananishambulia, watu wakatili wanayatafuta maisha yangu, watu wasiomjali Mungu.

4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.

Hakika Mungu ni msaada wangu, Bwana ndiye anayenitegemeza.

5 He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.

Mabaya na yawarudie wale wanaonisingizia, kwa uaminifu wako uwaangamize.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

Nitakutolea dhabihu za hiari; Ee Bwana, nitalisifu jina lako kwa kuwa ni vyema.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.

Kwa maana ameniokoa katika shida zangu zote, na macho yangu yamewatazama adui zangu kwa ushindi.
